- Edward Ball (American author)
Edward Ball (born 1958) is an American writer born in Savannah, Georgia, the son of an Episcopal priest from an old Southern family in Charleston. His mother was a bookkeeper raised in New Orleans. When he learned that his ancestors once owned many thousands of slaves, he decided to research his family's unsavory past. The result was his first book "Slaves in the Family".
